I can name at least 10 people that I went to high school with 15 years ago that were pot smokers and they all have one thing in common, low income. Not saying it was directly due to the weed but some still live with their folks and doodle cartoons all day and still talk about skateboarding as if they're still in high school. Others have entry level jobs in the same small town where we grew up and poor families and as far as I know they all still get high. I'm not exactly against pot but I don't smoke it either. I just always think of this same group of "kids" that are stoners and I can't help but link their lack of success with their drug use. And yes I drink alcohol.

Bingo!!! We must have grown up around many of the same people....
 
I'd feel OK with him smoking gov't approved weed, but not that stuff off the street that could be mixed with PCP's. He might end up going bonkers and kill every poor soul in the camp.
Whenever he smokes, it would be wise to have at least one person keep watch over him. Who knows what else he may be doing. You know it's a gateway drug.
I could never understand why people need drugs, when there is plenty of alcohol available, that will alter your state of mind, yet still leaving you in control of your senses.

And this is exactly the problem. Stereotyping. That isn't a personal shot at you either. Its a societal issue. Does every person who drinks go home and beat their family? No, they don't. That logic cannot be applied.
What's everyone going to do when they find out their physicians, teachers, lawyers, emergency responders, your boss etc are among the demographic that smoke marijuana, and have the whole time? Not everyone who smoked weed in highschool is stuck on the skateboard or cartoons for their whole life, many are very very successful. Of course I dont advocate for being impaired while using firearms or hunting, exactly the opposite. But to assume someone is a moron forever because they smoke weed? Come on.
Each hunting camp will have their own rules, as does mine, and I respect them or I dont hunt there. Fortunately for me, I am not treated like a child who cant be responsible enough to make sound decisions on my own behalf.

Ya I get that for sure. I'm just saying that pot use CAN ruin lives the same way alcohol can. That doesn't mean that it will necessarily. Like I said, I drink, but it doesn't control my life. I can even get drunk without being a jerk. I drink with friends and we always act responsible, mature, and generally not like kids getting loaded for the first time. I know a few adults that recreationally smoke pot when away from the kids and I think there's nothing wrong with that. Same as any substance, moderation is key.
 
I have a friend that gets chronic lower back and hip pain . He is in a hunt camp , smoked before but now gets the medicinal stuff and just has a nibble if it gets bad . His hunt camp ranges in age from about 35 ish to 60 . Each camp makes their own rules , but I think there is a big difference between a guy that just wants to get baked and a guy that's just trying to numb some pains

With all due respect, do you actually run or participate in a hunt camp?......

The bottom line is very simple...... and, putting all substance ralated debate aside, what really matters is , when it’s go time, are you ready to go?.... unimpaired, alert and safe......

I saw dilligaf’s post and it disgusted me that a hunt group would miss opening day..... I salivate for it all year long...but that is in relation to my camp..... upon further thought, what hell do I care what they do in their camp as long as it doesn’t affect me and they hunt safely?.....

Read my lips, I know EXACTLY how he feels. I will have tea and or oil edibles. My lifelong friend knows, but nobody else could even guess.
 
I am not a user but have been classified as a doper in the past. Would rather have a guy smoking to much than drinking to much.Guns and anything don't mix but if a drink is OK then a little herb cant hurt.
 
I just need the government to recognize medicinal beer, if the baked out pot heads can have the company benefit plan pay for getting stoned then they can pay for a couple of beers.
 
My 60+ year old mother, who has been a straight laced, hard working, responsible, god fearing woman all her life is "on the pot". After many surgeries to repair her body from a life long career in front line nursing, my mother was developing an issue with having to take heavy opiods post surgery. At one point we had to intervene due to phsycological reactions to oxycontin. She remains in pain daily and as an option her doctor recommended cannabis oil. I found out about her cannabis oil use after the fact and was pleasantly surprised that my mom had an open enough mind to accept her doctors recommendation. The edible oils she takes are really helping my mom have some quality of life and she sounds so vibrant and happy when i talk to her these days.

I am coming to learn that there are a lot of really hypocritical people on this site, real judgemental, close minded , tow the line kinda good ol boys who swallowed the marijuana is evil kool aid since it first got poured in the 30's.
Prior to the crimminalization of cannabis globally, it was an integral part of the fabric of our society.... you know, back when cocaine pills could still be bought at the pharmacy for tooth pain or womens monthlies LOL In parts of the US if you wanted to homestead land back in the day, you had to "by law" plant X number of acres of cannabis. I think states like indianna and kentucky were such places. Heck even in canada these fields existed for the textiles and oils the plants fiber and seeds produced.
BUT then came Dupont and the invention of plastics..... anyone with a free thinking brain can do thier own research and see the real reasons cannabis was made illegal..... and it ain't cuz it made yer brain cells die.

Anyhow, some folks have really told a lot about themselves in this thread LOL I know exactly what it is like to be judged by people here for my stance on medical cannabis. I remember what happened when my brother and son decided to toke up in the front yard in my brothers jeep at the 100 mile m14 clinic...... and how that came down on me.... and I personally don't give a rats azz LOL It's funny ... almost every person I know more than casually, who has served in the canadian forces, came out of it with a serious drinking problem. Heck I remember going to the jericho armory years ago with my military buds and drinking till they kicked us out..... First girl i dated in high school was from a navy family.... she was a cadet officer and Jeebus could those kids drink.
I was never a real drinker and yet so many people I know are total closet alcoholics.... can't even socialize without a drink of some kind even if it's 5% haha

people need to seriously get a grip on the reality that cannabis is just a fuggen weed , it doesn't even qualify as a "drug" in my books. I believe that society should have controls on it as a substance however. The current laws for tobacco and alcohol are just fine for cannabis and all the crimminal code crap that goes along with it's responsible use. The liberals are legalizing and it's not so all the potheads will vote for them again. They are legalizing to funnel the profits of this new "budding" industry into the hands of cops, judges, politicians and corporate persons who have been lyal to the liberal cause. I'm sure billions will make it into the offshore accounts like shown in the Paradise Papers. Legalization is being delayed because all these crooked people are fumbling over themselves to get thier feet in and then it will be concrete. The first industry owned lock stock and barrel, by the largest crimminal organization in canada.... the liberal party.

haha, weed should be decrimminalized to no different than tomatoes, potatoes, farm eggs..... and this whole.... keep it away from our children whining and crying ? suck it up and be a better parent and your kid won't be out smokin weed with his friends.... because him and his friends are out doing fun things with you.....

rant over haha

do you know how long it's been since people laced weed with PCP on any kind of a regular basis? They showed us all that jazz in high school as near the end of the 70's and early 80's , PCP was a lot more prevalent. I'd be awfully surprised if it even makes for 1% of street drugs these days but could wrong i suppose.
Government weed..... do you know how much weed is ordered by health canada to be recalled and destroyed from Canada's current licensed growing facitlities? Are you aware of the products and pathogens they test for and the acceptable levels this industry is allowed to have?

lot's of completely sideways, totally uneducated thinking in this thread......
it's like if i said an AR15 is more dangerous because it looks scary and it's designed to be a weapon of war and can accept high capacity magazines and tactical accessories....... you'd say..... What are you nuts? and go on and tell me how uneducated I am about the Ar15...... which I'm not, I'm just using an example you might be able to relate too.

preaching the positives of alcohol? I just gotta shake my head.

this place is really only good for entertainment value these days LOL
 
The sarcasm was strong in that quoted post.
Your post above that was pretty spot on however.
I get the feeling some of the "Anti" pot folk around here think it's maybe acceptable as medicine, but not if it makes you feel good.
Strange.

We complain often complain about broad brushes and stereotypes when it comes to firearms ownership and gun crimes but many here are quick to cast judgements and bust out the big brush when it comes to Weed.

Funny how you can see the generational gap so clearly on this topic. It's not much different than beer...minus the ornery stage after too many.
Don't think it should be used in conjunction with firearms, but then again...neither should alcohol. Not even 1 beer, nor 1 hoot.
That 'Hunt camp; it's fine to start the day off with a Baileys or 3...' but any other 'type of drug is verboten' BS needs to shuffle off into history.
Impaired is impaired.
Weed don't hurt much, just don't do things that you ought not whilst partaking... guns and auto usage come to mind

Fentynol is used as medicine and it makes you feel good :)


Never tried pot and short of severe trauma never will.
I used to be anti pot thanks to the anti-drug programming but now I find my stance lessened in light of all the medical benefits it seems to have.

Problem being its a double edged sword because now a lot of people develop bs medical problems to get a licence for pot or free prescription Doctors in BC apparently write up scripts for anytbing. You can get a pot perscruption over the phone (with a convenient donation or $500).


Ultimately until pot is 100% legal someone running a hunt camp has every right to decide he or she doesn't want that on the premises. Even after its legal they can object to it the same way they might alcohol. Private property and all that.
